The type of birth control you choose is based on many factors, including your:
The doctors at Interior Women’s Health review your medical history and existing health to determine which types are most appropriate for you. For example, if you’re looking for a birth control method that you don’t have to remember to take or insert, an IUD or hormonal implant may be best for you. If you are unable to use a hormonal option due to a health condition, a copper IUD may be the best choice.
The only protection against sexually transmitted disease (STD) are male and female condoms, but they aren’t the most reliable when it comes to preventing pregnancy. Using a dual method of protection, such as the pill and a condom, when you have multiple partners or a partner with multiple partners, is recommended for optimal protection from STDs and pregnancy.
The doctors at Interior Women’s Health take time to learn your family plans and overall health before recommending options for birth control that best fits your needs.
If you decide to have an implant or IUD inserted, the team explains what to expect during insertion. The insertion process is a minor in-office procedure that sometimes can be done on the day of your consultation or scheduled for a later date. You may also receive a prescription or shot in-office if you choose the pill or Depo Provera for contraception.
